- Comment on Q anon was a psyop. 1 day ago:
The issue with the line of thinking you’re espousing is that without evidence, you’re suggesting a more complicated cause than simple chance.
Like yes, it is possible that somebody or some group lined all of these things up in advance, but it’s also entirely possible that there’s a ton of noise out there on the internet and that those with nefarious interests just signal boost the noise that benefits them.
Think of all the millions of random schizo-posters out there. You just pick whichever makes the right sounds and boost them. No need to invent the crazy when there’s crazy on tap.

This. I use symfonium for my audiobooks. Great app.
- Comment on Chocolate chip is a great cookie, but only if it's melty. If it's crunchy, it's just an average cookie. 4 days ago:
Right, that’s their point. Chocolate chip cookies can be made to be chewy when cold instead of melted, in which case they’re still much better than crunchy chocolate chip cookies.

You spelled it wrong but pronounced it right FWIW. I watched the show and read more than a dozen of the books growing up.

This has to be my favorite thing about Jeff Geerling vs other YouTube channels, he’ll make an accompanying blog post to go with each of his main channel videos that is effectively an annotated text version of the video with appropriately embedded images and links.

OP’s post is about fortnite, the top commenter of this comment chain added on a link about Twitter. Both are about a supposedly popular thing being overwhelmingly just full of bots. What’s not to get?
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 4 weeks ago:
I understood their point. My point is that it was a one line throwaway gag on The Simpsons. Not necessarily a commentary on real world police hiring practices so much as a joke about both the police in that show and Homer.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 4 weeks ago:
Considering how dumb the police chief is on that show, I think it was an intentional joke

It’s phenomenal, IMO. It cuts back and forth between action scenes and a philosophical dialogue between a human and a superintelligent AI he created

The Terminator anime had a totally unrelated leader for the resistance.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
100%. It’s absurdly bad faith argumentation, to the point of redefining words.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
What’s your definition of “overcame”, then? Do you believe that anything short of an absolutely permanent solution is failing to overcome?
At what timescale exactly does it become overcome? If it comes back after being wiped out for 10,000 years, did we “fail to overcome” it? Or did it just come back?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
This is untrue. It just feels true right now.
There have been many many times, places, and societies in human history that do not resemble feudalism whatsoever.

Which I’m pretty sure at at least one point someone mentions is thousand island dressing.
Though I think in some episodes they just say it has ketchup and mustard, so, y’know.

Ooh, for sure. We also had Pizza Hut back when it was a sit down place with a good deal on the all you can eat lunch buffet.
